'A special player': BYU's Rylee Jensen taking game to new heights

BYU's Rylee Jensen looks into the outfield as she prepares to hit as BYU and Utah play in a softball game at BYU in Provo on Wednesday, May 1, 2019.

PROVO — Rylee Jensen has a knack for being her best when it matters most — even though her first big audition for BYU softball coaches didn't find her in top form.

That audition came between her freshman and sophomore years of high school after attending a BYU softball camp. That's where Cougars coach Gordon Eakin let Jensen know he was impressed with her play, but wanted to see her perform in live game situations.
